Price scanner needs Windows?

What else does it show?

These price checkers are basically just thin clients working off the central store PoS server. These models run a super old version of Windows CE that loads the store applications at startup. This one just looks like it can't connect to the server.

The server is doing the best it can, no need to call it names.
